My biggest realisation lately is that to be a truly good poker player, you dont need a 'style' of play (like LAGG), but you need to be truly adaptable to all situations. I'd seen this advice on here before, just never really took it to heart until recently...
Yah. That's why I lagged for a day or two, even if the table didn't suit for it. Get the feel for it, acquire it as a skill. Now I find myself going into tables Tagg, and when the table annoys me cuz they aren't calling my raises or something, I'll probably rag on the table a bit to make them loosen up and get accustomed to high bids. Also, as I've seen from my friends, Lagg gains in importance greatly as you go up in stakes. And since the Lagg style requires different reads on both your opponents and especially the flop than regular ABC poker does, I think it's definately a skill you should train to have in your repertoire.
